Movie: Wall Street (1987)

edited December 2020 in Off-Topic
Saw this for the first time recently. It’s streaming free on Amazon Prime if a member. I thought the acting was great. Lots of comments about money, life, greed worth chewing on. A fun film if you don’t take it too seriously.

  • Thanks, @hank- will check that one out.
  • Yes, good one. Agreed.
  • All-time classic:-)
  • I like that Martin and Charlie Sheen are both in it, playing father-son.
  • @hank- We checked Amazon Prime this last weekend, and found that both "Wall Street" and the sequel "Wall Street- Money Never Sleeps" were available, but there was a note that the sequel was only going to be available for another 13 hours! So we got lucky and watched "Money Never Sleeps" first- it was very good. Next weekend we'll watch the original "Wall Street".

    Thanks for the tip-

    @Old_Joe - Great to hear. To be honest, I started to watch the sequel ( Money Never Sleeps) but quit after 10 minutes. Didn’t like. But, the original (cited above) is a real gem.

    I watched “Bad Education” on HBO Max recently. Terrific job by Hugh Jackman playing the role of a talented and gifted high school administrator who, unfortunately, chose to steal millions from the system before getting caught. You can get anything on Amazon if you’re willing to pay $3 or $4 for a 2 day rental - the reason I subscribed to HBO Max for 6 months at $69.
  • Agee. The first one, Wall Street, is a classic.
